Cinetrain-2013

At the beginning of 2013 The Centre of Documentary Cinema (DOC) started an annual international filmmaking project “Cinetrain-2013”. This year 25 young documentary filmmakers from 15 countries took a railroad journey across half of Russia.

On their way, filmmakers -most of whom have never been to Russia- created seven short documentaries in which they presented their own interpretation about Russian stereotypes. The road journey started in Murmansk and continued in St.Petersburg. The most interesting part awaited participants in their journey by transsiberian express from Kotlas to Tomsk and then to Irkutsk (near Baikal Lake). The organizers of Cinetrain-2013 asked participants to shoot and finish their road stories within a month. 6th of February – the date when they will present their ready docs to the public at the Centre of Documentary Cinema in Moscow.
